I programmed my 680 to use Plex Player as a device instead of Apple TV and it won't issue IR commands when in the Launcher for say Menu, Up, Down etc at all as evidenced by the lack of the little green transmit LED turning on when these keys are pressed. IR commands that should go to the TV such as Volume are working.

Interestingly, if I instruct my Harmony to go into Device mode with PlexPlayer as the device, the controls work! I'm guessing (hoping?) that is not the way it is supposed to work.

The device I added was Computer->Media Center PC->Plex and typed in Plex Player. In the Logitech application, it says

Repeat is only activated for up and down. Simply comes from the fact that the AppleRemote had no seperate pressed/released events for right and left, but special Right_Hold, Left_Hold events. This can probably be changed.

thanks for the feedback,

This thread is dedicated to reporting bugs / discussing features for the beta of XBMCHelper. This beta version is not tested on the ATV, and probably won't work there currently, sorry

hm, sounds more like a misconfiguration of your Harmony. IIRC I just created an Action for XBMC with my TV, Plex Player and after activating that Action, pressed buttons go to XBMC.

Plex Media Center PC is set to "Media"

Is this the correct setting?

think so, yes.

you might want to create a new thread to discuss the Harmony and XBMC(@ATV) issues

So can it be changed? On my system Plex can handle hold left/right with my Harmony but currently XBMC with the latest XBMCHelper cannot which is really bad for the Aeon skin... Thanks.

new version of XBMCHelper replacement + Keymap.xml uploaded.
only thing changed was right/left-repeat functionality.
You'll need the new Keymap.xml, as Right_Hold and Left_Hold needed to be remapped.

cheers,

Hmmm... something must have gone wrong. Downloaded new Keymap and XBMCHelper and installed them but now left and right single press don't work and hold left goes right and hold right goes left! Any ideas? Anything I can do to help you debug?
